CloneSMP v1.1 Changelog

New Features

Life Crystal System

• Added Life Crystals that allow players to restore lost lives
• Life Crystals can be crafted using a player head surrounded by 8 end crystals
• Life Crystals can only be used when a player has 1/3 or 2/3 of their maximum lives
• Usage is restricted to prevent stockpiling lives when at full health
• Server-wide announcement when a player uses a Life Crystal

Balance Changes

• The Life Crystal recipe is intentionally expensive to craft, requiring rare end-game items
• Players cannot use Life Crystals when they have full lives or are banned (0 lives)
• Maximum life count can be configured in config.yml (default: 5)

Technical Improvements

• Added configurable maximum lives for the Life Crystal system
• Fixed plugin compatibility with latest Bukkit/Spigot versions
• Improved console logging for better debugging and monitoring
• Enhanced error handling for crafting recipes

How Life Crystals Work

1. Crafting: Place a player head in the center of a crafting table, surrounded by 8 end crystals.

2. Usage: Right-click while holding the Life Crystal to restore one life. The crystal will be consumed on use.

3. Restrictions:

   • Can only be used when you have 1/3 or 2/3 of your maximum lives
   • Cannot be used when at full health or when banned
   • Clear error messages explain when crystals can be used

4. Visual Effects:

   • Glowing item effect
   • Heart particles on use
   • Level-up sound when used
   • Server-wide message announcing the life restoration

Configuration

Life Crystal settings can be adjusted in config.yml:

# Maximum number of lives a player can have (with Life Crystals)
max-life-crystals: 5

# Life Crystal Settings
life-crystal:
  # Whether Life Crystals are enabled
  enabled: true

Commands
